Here’s a round-up of coverage of the 2014 Washington, DC US Brompton National Championship, beginning with coverage by Fernando, who has a couple of excellent posts (and a lot of great photos) on his blog, The Dirty Brompton:

What fun! In spite of several frantic weeks here at the Diarist homestead since the BNC, we’re still basking in the afterglow.
This Sunday, July 27, the 2014 Brompton World Championship will be held at Goodwood motor track, with fierce competition amongst the winners of the individual National challenges, and two other events, as well. Basil and Argyll will miss this one, but if the event ever moves back to Blenheim, there’s a chance we might be on the next plane.
Basil and I will be travelling for the next week, and, unusually, I haven’t been able to line up automatic posts for while we are gone. (Real life is so annoyingly time-consuming!) Posting and responses to comments and email will resume when we return.
